 Thank you very much for your reply!

   Something new every day..... I always thought that cgi was permissible
 only from ServerRoot until suexec came along.  I always used suexec here,
 so never noticed, especially since the only ISP I ever used announced once
 that cgi was available in userdirs as if it were a new thing.  That's what
 led me to installing Apache on local machines in the first place (I had no
 servers before that).
   NOW it's all clear.
 
 Sigh.  Again, sorry to trouble you.
